If I don't drink, no matter what things will get better. And from That Day To This Day I've never questioned that the program of alcoholics anonymous works.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from the depths of addiction? In this episode of Sober Cast, Joe C from Auburn, CA shares his compelling story at the 43rd Anniversary of Dry Diggins back in October 1988. Joe takes listeners through his tumultuous journey with alcoholism, revealing the hidden struggles and the toll it took on his life. He doesn't shy away from discussing the pain of loss and the harsh consequences of his addiction.
Yet, amid the darkness, Joe found a beacon of hope in AA meetings, which became his lifeline out of the abyss. One poignant moment in Joe's story is when he talks about attending a memorial for a couple who lost their baby. His presence there was a profound act of love and support, illustrating the importance of being there for others.
Joe also delves into the idea of 'tending to one's own garden', emphasizing the need for personal responsibility and inner growth. He candidly shares his battles with procrastination and irresponsibility, and how he has used prayer and reading to overcome these hurdles. Joe's story is a testament to the ongoing process of maintaining sobriety. He highlights that while challenges are inevitable, staying committed to the AA program can lead to lasting recovery.
